Chapter 1145: Han Yan Creates Another Miracle

Until this moment, Han Yan suddenly realized that the principle of the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array actually originated from the Star Falling Eight Desolate Sword.

While defending against the countless Sword Light, Han Yan continuously practiced the Star Shining Eight Desolate Sword in her mind, and the array’s structure became increasingly clear...

Finally, Han Yan found the greatest weakness of the array!

However, to Han Yan’s surprise, the weak point was not a single point but rather a formation, a formation hidden within the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Sword.

This formation was far less profound and mysterious than the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Sword. It shouldn’t be very strong, but by leveraging the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Sword’s momentum, its power was multiplied. If not for Han Yan’s somewhat understanding of the Star Falling Eight Desolate Sword and her exceptionally strong Six Senses, she wouldn’t have noticed it at all.

Han Yan was certain that this was Tian Wenliang’s doing! Because the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array was so powerful, there was no need to add such a formation. Moreover, if the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array weren’t damaged back then, this formation wouldn’t have been able to hide within; it would have been destroyed by the array’s power long ago.

This Tian Wenliang is truly despicable, truly vicious! Han Yan made up her mind that once she broke the formation and escaped danger, she would never let him off easily.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Han Yan continued to comprehend the Star Falling Eight Desolate Sword. Unfortunately, she quickly realized that although she could use her understanding of the Star Falling Eight Desolate Sword to find the array’s weakness, she couldn’t comprehend the complete swordsmanship as her knowledge of the array was still pathetically lacking.

It seems that to comprehend the complete Star Falling Eight Desolate Sword, she must first learn this array principle.

Time flew by, and before she knew it, the sky had already darkened. Huayue and the others were probably getting anxious, and the array’s Sword Light was growing stronger, even Han Yan was starting to struggle.

"Nine Heavens, Star Fall!" Han Yan suddenly raised the Cold Sky Sword, condensing all her Qi, prepared to break the formation!

...

Just as Han Yan expected, outside the array, Huayue and the others all wore anxious expressions, pacing back and forth like ants on a hot pan.

Tian Wenliang pretended to walk around the array, occasionally forming hand seals, seemingly in a hurry, yet there wasn’t a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

"Lord Tian, it’s been several hours already, and the array still can’t be broken?" Seeing Huayue and the others worried, Qiu Pingcheng gleefully fanned the flames and asked Tian Wenliang.

"Do you think breaking this array is that easy? Back then, even the thousand elite from West Qin, along with several Sword Saint experts, were trapped inside. Does its strength even need to be mentioned? I’ve done my utmost, but how can I compare to those experts from West Qin?

Alas, this Han Yan was too reckless. What is he showing off for when he doesn’t have the skill? Now he’s harmed others and himself," Tian Wenliang said, wiping his forehead and complaining.

"Lord Tian, if it can’t be helped, just let it be. This Han Yan is arrogant and ignorant. He deserves to die, and there’s no need for him to implicate you," Qiu Pinghe pretended to say sincerely.

"No, no matter how arrogant and ignorant Han Yan is, he is still a disciple of Long Yan Academy. Even if I have to risk my life, I must do my utmost to rescue him," Tian Wenliang righteously declared.

Hypocrite, how can you be so hypocritical as an academy mentor! Watching them echoing each other, even the surrounding academy disciples couldn’t bear it.

To say you’re doing your best, to say you’re risking your life—Tian Wenliang circled the array for half a day, not even breaking a sweat on his forehead, clearly just putting on a show. He probably wishes for Han Yan to die in the array, yet he speaks so righteously; truly too hypocritical, truly shameless.

"Lord Tian, you don’t need to worry. My lord has his own way to break the array. You just stay aside," Huayue coldly said to Tian Wenliang.

They’re not blind; they can see Tian Wenliang not putting in effort. Already worried, they’re even more annoyed by his endless circling.

"Hmph, I’m kindly trying to save Han Yan, and you all show such ingratitude!" Tian Wenliang yelled angrily.

"With your limited ability, you can’t save anyone; just don’t add chaos," Zirong coldly added.

This guy doesn’t really want to rescue anyone; Zirong isn’t afraid of offending him.

"What? You dare say I’m adding chaos!" As an Array Master, it’s the first time Tian Wenliang has been criticized by a junior disciple like this, and he got furious.

"Isn’t that so? If you’re not adding chaos, then break the array and show us," Zirong said contemptuously.

Tian Wenliang was about to showcase some real skills to him, but he immediately came to his senses—this was clearly Zirong’s goading tactic.

"Hmph, since you disregard my array formation technique, why should I bother anymore? We’re leaving." Tian Wenliang, cunning and sly, wouldn’t fall for Zirong’s tricks, snorted coldly and led Qiu Pingcheng and the others away.

"Lord Tian, is he really not going to save them?" Qiu Pingcheng deliberately asked as he walked.

"I kindly want to save them, but they just take me for a fool. Save? Why save? We’ll just return in a few days to collect Han Yan’s remains." Tian Wenliang furiously responded.

Seeing him leave like that, other academy disciples sighed quietly, feeling some sympathy for Han Yan trapped in the array.

If Tian Wenliang had stayed, perhaps conscience-stricken, Han Yan might have had a chance of survival. But with his departure, Han Yan’s last hope was likely severed.

"Boom!" Just then, a thunderous sound erupted from within the array, and a Sword Light appeared out of thin air, like a bolt of lightning, splitting the heavens and earth!

Everyone turned their heads, faces filled with shock.

Two figures, following that Sword Light, appeared before them. It was none other than Han Yan and Jiang Yuzhe, whom they thought were doomed.

The array was broken, just as Huayue said, the array was truly broken.

Even the thousand Western Qin elite and several Sword Saint experts couldn’t break it, yet Han Yan, a Fifth-Rank Sword Master, broke it.

Tian Wenliang was also stunned, his mouth agape in shock.

Though he personally set the Small Heavenly Net Formation, it was reinforced by the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array. Even if he himself tried, it would take him days to break it, yet Han Yan did it in mere hours; how... how is this possible!

"Han Yan!" Huayue and the others were filled with both shock and joy, opening their arms and rushing forward, too excited to remember rank distinctions, addressing her simply by name.

But as they neared, they suddenly remembered Han Yan was actually a woman, hurriedly stopping in their tracks, retracting their outstretched arms.
